Raven and Beast Boy sat in the waiting room, awaiting their turn for
their next ultra sound. Raven was quite tired and had her head
rested on Beast Boy's shoulder. Arielle's second birthday had
been a week before, so she was still a little over four months
pregnant. Her stomach was growing larger and larger each day. This
was normal, but the odd thing was that she was a tad… larger than
she had been when she was four months pregnant with her other two
children. But each pregnancy is different, so she didn't worry.

"Raven Logan?" asked the receptionist as she entered through the
door that led to the examination rooms. Beast Boy smiled at the
sound of her name. He always smiled when he heard Raven's name
along with his last name. Raven opened her eyes, sighed, and stood
up. Beast Boy stood up with her and the two headed for the door.

Raven climbed onto the uncomfortable bed and lay down. As
uncomfortable as she was, she was still ready to fall asleep. The
receptionist made sure she was okay and then left. Now they just had
to wait for the actual doctor.

"How do you feel?" he asked rubbing her hand.

"Tired," she said sleepily.

"I know," he said kissing her hand. "We'll be out of here
soon enough."

"And we'll know what we're having," said Raven with a smile,
which in turn made him smile. They had decided to find out whether
they were having a girl or a boy. This time Raven was ready and when
Beast Boy asked her if they could find out she said yes. It had been
easier once they found out that Arielle was a girl, just like Beast
Boy said, and so she decided that there was no reason to not find out
this time. The funny thing was that everyone else back at the tower
had a pool going on what it was going to be. Robin and Alex thought
it was going to be a boy. Cyborg, Bumble Bee, and Starfire thought
it was going to be a girl. Arielle didn't really care, or really
know what was going on.

The door opened and in walked the doctor, smiling. It was the same
woman Raven had had with Arielle.

"Well, it's nice to see you again," said the doctor kindly.
"How are you?"

"Very tired," said Raven. "But I'm getting used to it."

"Okay," said the doctor sitting down and turning all of the
machines. "Can you lift your shirt?" Raven pulled her shirt up
over her stomach and waited for the cold jelly. The doctor took a
look at Ravens exposed stomach and said, "You're four months?"

"Just about," said Raven. "Why?"

"No reason," said the doctor looking away quickly and smiling.
"Just need to make sure."

"Doesn't her stomach look kinda… bigger than usual?" asked
Beast Boy.

"A little bit," said the doctor. "But each pregnancy's
different."

"I told you," said Raven.

The doctor squeezed the jelly onto her stomach and Raven got a
shiver. The monitor was placed on her lower abdomen and the screen
was soon filled with grey blobs. "Let's see what's going on in
there," said the doctor sweetly. She moved the monitor around and
had a look inside Raven. They could all hear the heart beats of
mother and child. "Good… good… looks fine…" she said as
she moved about. Then she stopped and looked closely. "Hhm…"
she said to herself.

"What? What is it?" asked Raven alarmed. "Is something
wrong?"

"I don't think so," said the doctor quizzically. She moved the
monitor a little bit and applied some pressure, so she could get a
clearer view. Raven grabbed Beast Boy's hand nervously. Then a
smile crossed the doctor's face. "Well, this is interesting."

"What?" asked Raven and Beast Boy together.

"Well, why don't you close your eyes and listen closely to the
heart beats," she said. Raven and Beast Boy weren't sure why she
wanted them to do this, but they obeyed. They closed their eyes and
listened to the heart beats. There was one louder than the other,
and that was Ravens. Then there was a softer one… and it had an
echo? "Do you hear it?"

"It sounds like there's an echo in there," said Beast Boy.

"Yeah, what is that?" asked Raven.

"Now I want you to take a look at this," said the doctor moving
the screen of the machine a little more towards them. "You see
this right here?"

"Yes."

"Well that's the baby's head, and there's its foot," said
the doctor pointing. "Now look over here. Can you see that?"

The two looked closely, but weren't exactly sure what they were
supposed to be looking at. They saw the blob that was their baby,
but there seemed to be a different blob near it.

"I'm not sure what we're looking at," said Beast Boy.

"Me neither," said Raven nervously, though she had a slight guess
in her mind as to what it was.

"Well, that," said the doctor pointing to the blob they were
staring at, "is another baby. You're going to have twins!"

Beast Boy and Raven's jaws dropped and they both forgot to breath
for a full five seconds. Then they both said, "What?"

"Yeah, that's why you're stomach's a little larger than
usual," said the doctor. She checked Ravens chart and then said,
"And why you had such severe morning sickness."

"We're having twins?" asked Beast Boy again.

Suddenly Raven turned to him and began to pummel him with her hands.
She was slapping him in the arm and made him jump away. "You
bastard!" she said in an agitated voice.

"What? What did I do?" asked Beast Boy very confused.

"You jinxed us!" she said sitting up.

"How did I jinx us?" asked Beast Boy.

"Remember when we were talking about having more children and you
said, "Let's shoot for twins"?" she said doing a bad
impression of Beast Boy. "You've jinxed us!"

Beast Boy thought back and did remember saying something along those
lines. "Damn, I did," he said to himself. Then he shrugged and
said, "Oops!" with a nervous smile. Raven just sighed and lay
back down.

"Raven, are you okay?" asked the doctor, a little in shock by
their reaction.

"Yeah, I'm fine," said Raven covering her face with her hand.
"I'm just… a little shocked right now."

"That's okay," said the doctor taking her hand and rubbing it.
"Most couples are when they find out. But, you have to look on the
bright side; they both look well and are coming along fine."

"Can we know what they're gonna be?" asked Beast Boy.

"I can check, if you want," said the doctor.

"Raven? Do you still want to know?" asked Beast Boy.

A million things were running through Ravens mind. Twins? She was
going to have twins? That meant double everything. Double the
sickness, double the labor, double the baby supplies, and double the
stress. She thought about whether she did want to know what they
were going to be. She concluded that it would make life doubly
easier if they did know. "Yes, let's know," she said at last.

The doctor smiled and placed the monitor back on her stomach. She
looked around, at each baby, and said, "Well it looks like you're
having a… boy and a… boy! Twin boys."

The two took a few seconds to let this sink in. Then Raven began to
hit him again. "What'd I do now?" he asked stepping back.

"You wanted a boy! You jinxed us twice!" she said. "You
wanted twins and a boy! Now we're having two boys."

"Geez, sorry," said Beast Boy. "Who would've thought that
this would be the one thing I actually got right? I mean, come on,
nothing else I say ever comes true."

The doctor stood up and said, "Well, I have some paper work to fill
out. I'll leave you two alone to talk." And with that she left.

Beast Boy went back over to Raven and sat down next to her. She had
her eyes closed and was now just thinking. Beast Boy looked at her
and saw that her face looked unhappy.

"Are you okay?" he asked, taking her hand.

"I don't know," she said, not opening her eyes. "It's just
a lot to take in."

"I know," said Beast Boy moving in closer to her. "It's…
overwhelming." He leaned in and said, "But everything's gonna
be fine."

Raven opened her eyes and saw how close Beast Boy was. He was
smiling warmly and looking at her with those beautiful emerald eyes.
She smiled back and he kissed her. Then pulled her into a hug.

Once the doctor had the paperwork done they were free to go. Now it
was in the file: Raven Logan; twins, males. The two felt like they
were in a dream for a while. The news took a few minutes to actually
sink in. It was on the way home that Raven finally looked down at
her stomach and realized that not just one, but two lives were inside
of her. Two little boys. Would they be identical? She didn't
know. Would they be like her other two children? She didn't know.
All she knew was that a couple very lucky people back at the tower
were getting double their money.

They entered the common room and saw everyone sitting in the on the
couch watching a movie; PG of course. Starfire, with Caley in her
arms, and Robin sitting next to her. Alex and Arielle sitting next
to each other, eating a bowl of popcorn. And Cyborg and Bumble Bee,
the newly engaged couple, sitting very close. Of course the moment
Beast Boy and Raven entered they all jumped up.

"You're back!" said Alex running over to them. "So what is
it? Am I getting a brother or sister?"

"Wait a second!" said Cyborg running off quickly. He came back
with a large chart with two columns. One read "Boy" and the
other read "Girl". Under each column were a dozen names.

"What in the world is that?" asked Raven.

"We've been makin a few calls around," said Bumble Bee. "And
we've got a huge pool goin with all the Titans around the world."

"Everyone's betting on the sex of our child?" asked Beast Boy.

"It's official, you're the most popular Titan family in the
world," said Robin with a smile.

Beast Boy and Raven took a look at the chart. It was just about
even. Aqualad and Mas thought it was a boy, and Speedy and Menos
though it was a girl. Kole and Argent thought it was a boy, and
Flash and Jinx thought it was a girl. The list went on and on.
There was a lot of money riding on this child, or children now.

"Okay, let's here it," said Cyborg. "I gotta a lot of calls
to make."

Beast Boy and Raven looked at each other for a moment. "We're
having… a boy," said Beast Boy.

Robin and Alex cheered and gave each other a high five. The others
made negative sounds and sighed. Cyborg picked up the phone and
began to dial.

"Wait," said Raven. Everyone calmed down and waited for Raven to
speak again. "We're… we're not just having a boy.
We're having… two boys."

The room went silent and a wave of confusion entered the room. They
all just stared at Raven and then at Beast Boy, and then back to
Raven. She hated being stared at.

"Raven, you are… having two boys?" asked Starfire.

"Yes," said Beast Boy and Raven.

"So, it's twins?" asked Robin. "Twin boys?"

"Yes," said Beast Boy and Raven.

It was quiet again. Then Robin broke out in a victorious cheer.
"Woo hoo! I'm a millionaire!" he laughed. He picked Alex up
and whirled him around. "We're rich!"
